NEW YORK BLUES: The Beat Goes On- Les Paul Tribute, Michael Hill, The Woes

Iridium Jazz Club, Aug. 16, 2009

I was at the Iridium Jazz Club to see the fantastic Brazilian
pianist Eliane Elias and I saw this tribute to Les Paul right
outside the club. The Iridium is where Les appeared every
Monday night since 1996. Right behind the frame is a large
card that passersby had signed. I wanted to share this with you.

Greetings Blues fans! Been a busy week for me. I caught a great show by the Harlem Blues Project over at BB King's Blues Club and Friday night I was treated to a triple bill of John Nemeth, John Lee Hooker Jr, and Walter Trout, also at BB King's. Those photos will be posted at a later date. This week I am submitting photos of Michael Hill and a band called The Woes, both which I caught at Terra Blues. Go to Amazon to check out some of the discs available by the Michael Hill Blues Mob.

I'm sure most of you are aware of the passing of Les Paul. Please be sure to read the excellent write-up by our own J. Blake. All I can say is that guitar players the world over should be tipping their caps to Les right about now.

Until the next go-round, keep supporting the Blues. These cats are working hard to lay it down for you.
